So bit of a rant but bit of AIBU.
Bit of background. So my mum has always been a bit opinionated to me and Dsis. Can be a bit overpowering and can be a bit full of herself. Even though she claims she's shy and what not. She came round mine earlier to drop something off. I had a handyman round fixing something. We were chatting about work and he mentioned he knew of my dad as they are in the same line of work. When my mum turned up i mentioned this and we were all chatting. Now this is the bit that annoyed me. She was saying people doing "pen pushing" were dull,boring and no sense of humour. She knows I have an office job so felt this was a bit of a dig at me. I just said hey in a light hearted way and she said "Well you are boring". Didn't want to say anything in front of this handyman and by the time they stopped talking I let it go. But AIBU to be annoyed she said That? She doesn't even work so she has no room to talk! It's like she changes into a different person in front of other people and feels like she has to impress or she will put me or someone else down. Mainly me if I'm there. Why as a parent would you want to make your child look stupid. I wouldn't do that to my DS!
